“Continue the Change” MPs will continue to fight for every point of the Electoral Code, even if the big collapse of trust will come with paper ballots. We managed at least to recover the memory in the cameras to be able to record at least during the count. These kinds of small victories are worth the battle, but they won’t make up for the big loss of the paper ballot if the paper ballot returns.
This was stated by the co-chairman of “Let’s keep the change” Kiril Petkov on the sidelines of the parliament.
According to him, what the MPs have said is that the GERB is doing nothing about the issue of the first term to form a government. There are no coalition talks and no successes. The GERBs are politically impotent and have made no progress in forming a government, Petkov stressed.
“If the paper vote passes today, it means this parliament is giving a narrow party task to the GERB, DPS and BSP to go back to the invalid ballots and steal the popular vote. If they do, it means there will be no government because there is no ‘this is how such a parliament can support an anti-corruption minority government,’ Petkov commented.
The PP has no way of proposing a cabinet: the first guarantee, the Electoral Code, throws it in the trash as an invalid ballot. The PP will defend every possible small victory in the Electoral Code to ensure at least some fair voting, but they are waiting for their big break: the return of paper ballots.
Otherwise, Kiril Petkov is outraged that today there was a second item on the agenda of parliament, introduced by the BSP, for compensation for electricity of non-household consumers – compensation for electricity of small and medium-sized businesses. This is a very important priority and should have been voted on today, but instead GERB, DPS and BSP have voted to return to the paper ballot debate and not compensate small and medium-sized enterprises. This shows how important issues for Bulgarian society are being replaced by the party’s narrow desire to steal the vote of Bulgarian citizens in the upcoming elections, underlined Kiril Petkov.
